Need Help with 3 Decks

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on April 30, 2019, 11:35 p.m. by BrandonNass

I have never played commander before, but all my friends only play EDH so I am trying to make 3 of my tri-color decks into commander decks.

I am trying to keep them very cheap, and don't want to use vintage cards, which will limit my options, I know. I also don't want any cheesy infinite combos, though normal combos are fine.

Thank you.

looks like your commanders are Ghave, Sharuum, and Tariel, respectively? (you can indicate it in the deck editor by putting * CMDR * after the card name, btw)

First place everyone will send you is EDHrec - maybe it's already been mentioned? Here are the pages for those commanders:

-Ghave, Guru of Spores

-Sharuum the Hegemon

-Tariel, Reckoner of Souls

Those are all fun choices - Ghave and Sharuum are combo machines, and Tariel is underplayed IMO. Off the cuff, I'll say for Ghave your current decklist needs more sac outlets, more ramp, and more removal. Sharuum is on the right track - also needs more ramp and removal, and look for things to flicker Sharuum and artifacts with sac/ETB effects. Tariel is a personal fave - fun take on control, blowing up everyone's creatures and bringing them back on your battlefield. Two things that deck needs are ways to protect your commander (e.g. Bastion Protector , Lightning Greaves ) and all the ramp. She's a 7 CMC commander, so you really don't want to cast her twice if you can help it, plus a lot of the biggest/best spells for Tariel are also high CMC ( Rise of the Dark Realms , Decree of Pain ) - this deck has to ramp like crazy to play consistent.

Happy brewing.

So I think I'm done with the Esper one. I changed the Abzan one to a tokens deck. The Mardu one I will completely rework into a vampires deck, but not right now.

I think the Esper one is okay for now, but I could use input on the Abzan Tokens one before buying. Thanks. And I would love to have Doubling Season or Anointed Procession , but they are pricy.

EDH - Abzan Tokens
